Yeah, it's sad when features, not bugs, are what move you away from a platform. See also my previous post. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Same result. (I pretty much exclusively use Google Chrome - I only downloaded Firefox to check that it applied to other Android browsers as well.) ETA - and actually, that screenshot IS chrome. FF is just up in the notification bar because I had just downloaded it. Chrome is the stock browser on Android, not surprisingly. Yes, the screenshot is obviously Chrome.

Which wording specifically? And if the NSA has cracked our strongest encryption, why does this topic exist?

I might be wrong, but I would say you're probably wrong about that. Please elaborate. AES-256 for example will never be brute-forceable in the lifetime of the universe, using every computer on earth. There are currently no known algorithmic attacks against it either. Might this change? Sure. It also might not. Either is speculation. Disregarding a speculative future, unbreakable encryption exists now. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

https://www.google.com/search?q=encrypted%20email%20cloud%20service There is indeed encryption that is unbreakable, "as far as encryption goes" (the human on either end will always be breakable). And there are cloud services offering it as an email wrapper, if you don't want to set up your own. And it will be available from big names very soon, and probably fairly common in the slightly-more-distant future if I had to guess. If I give a 3rd party company access to my raw email content, I really don't care if they let robots serve me ads based on that content (I'm just going to block those ads anyway). What matters is what humans do with it. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Mmmm... It does what it says on the tin. To say that it "sucks" is a mischaracterization. For instance, it doesn't say it will give you a blow job. If you expect all your software to give you a blow job, then I guess you're right in having the opinion that iCloud "sucks" (or doesn't in that case), but the fact remains, it does do exactly what it says it will do. What's the problem? I've never used it, but if you can get your data in, you can get your data out, and nobody else can do either of those things (i.e. this very topic), then yes it does indeed work as advertised. :-) www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I'm not a fan of the stupid name and the i-ification of every word. But I also don't understand the hate of "cloud" services which really haven't been new or exciting since Hotmail came out in the 90's. Being able to access your data from any device, anywhere, is great! It's still totally possible to set up an SMTP email server and use that, but who would choose to do so? The cloud benefits users in every way. Users complain that their email data is on Google's or Apple's servers, but that's how email works! It has to sit on a server somewhere, and you the user (the generic "you" here) get to choose where it sits, so don't complain when it does just that, at the host you chose! Any of these complaining users are free to set up their own privately managed email servers... but they won't. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

That's not the problem. They know what the iCloud password is. The problem is that the iPhone doesn't know what the new iCloud password is. And to tell the iPhone what the new iCloud password is you need to unlock the iPhone with the iPhone password and enter the iCloud password into the iPhone. They can't do that without knowing what the iPhone password is, and no-one alive knows what the iPhone password is. Short: The iPhone is not the iCloud and the iPhone password is not the iCloud password. You would think they would have needed the original iCloud password to in order to change it. Unless they convinced Apple to reset the iCloud password w/o providing the old one. Plot twist: this entire thing is a guerrilla marketing campaign to get the word iCloud recited as much as possible. Just reading that paragraph is giving me an iHeadache. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

The owner was using a service that encrypts his data. It was his choice to use that service. If he wanted easily accessible data, he should not have used that service. He may own the device, but clearly he does not own the data.

In this sport, the word catastrophic should really be reserved for things other than disappointing customers or embarrassing yourself with a boring landing. The wise jumper keeps in mind what a skydiving catastrophe actually looks like, and what kind of decisions can lead to one. "Dive the plan" is something even the astute 50-jump wonder understands the reasoning behind. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Happy to see both sides of the political fence agreeing this is far too much reach for a government to have. Also happy to see my employer on the same side as Apple. Everybody come together now! www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Lots of people have had the "issue" of making bad decisions in this sport. Pretty much all of us, if we're being honest. Some get to live to tell about it. Abort next time; that is the lesson to learn here. Throwing extra "accidental" turns into a swoop is a recipe for disaster. The consequence of aborting: you don't get to swoop. The potential consequences of diving at the ground for some extra indeterminate unplanned amount of time: you know the answer. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Science??? That crap is super biased. Doesn't give a damn about your opinions. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I think both of these statements can be true: 1) Driving is a right (doing what you please with your body and property). 2) Driving on any property you do not own is a privilege. A big grass field in a public park may be public property, and you may be free to walk/picnic on it whenever you like. But you're not free to drive a car on it, and I'd agree you don't have that right. :-) Anybody who doesn't like the highway system built by his governemnt should feel free to construct his own highway system on his own property. And Obama won't even be able to tell him how to use his motorcycle there either! www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Yeah, a guy like Elon Musk really has no idea about how to spend his money wisely. Thank goodness for capitalism, otherwise he might have to use his resources as somebody else saw fit.

So attempting to defeat what you see as unbeatable odds is mock-worthy? Lets ignore for a moment whether or not they are truly unbeatable, but look only at the mocking attitude. Imagine a red-blooded American soldier grossly outnumbered by enemy combatants, and low on ammunition. He has two choices. Die quietly, or go down shooting. If he went down shooting, would you call him a hero, or would you call him mock-worthy? You seem to be equating "not good" with "not good enough." It's true Teslas alone won't save the planet. We all agree on that. This does not mean they "aren't good." When a 95-year old man drinks water, it's still good for him. Very good. Even if he falls over dead the next day. Asking me to prove that electric cars are good is like asking me to prove the water is good. The biggest difference is that it is not clear here that the enemy outnumbers us. It's not clear that we're 95 years old, or low on ammo. And in that situation it's even more obtuse and rude to mock those who attempt to do good. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

It's impossible to demonstrate anything to someone who refuses to engage in an honest dialog. If a child asked me to demonstrate addition, I might begin by holding up one apple and asking him "how many apples are in this hand?" If he responds "poop butt" then the demonstration really can't continue. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I see you're choosing a joke and a context switch again rather than answer a question on the topic you started. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Please tell me which running automobile you'd rather sit in a closed garage with for an hour: 1) a Tesla (or any electric car) 2) a Ford truck (or any gasoline burning car) www.WingsuitPhotos.com

The context set by the posters you were responding to: - Teslas indeed will not save the planet alone - that said, Teslas are good for the planet - Teslas are also innovative, and accomplishing something previously thought impossible Instead of responding to any of these points, you initiated a context switch by discussing drink and taxes. And when asked to further explain yourself, suggested your words were taken out of context. Indeed, because they were spoken out of context. Feel free to return to the original context at any time.

Nope, but you did ignore my question about whether or not you take advantage of any tax exemptions, i.e. anything that Uncle Sam helps you pay for. Unless you can answer no to that question, then you fit all 3 criteria you were poking fun at. Drinking, driving, and saving money on taxes. The horror. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Not funny to me. He extols capitalism in most posts, but in this post pokes fun at capitalists if they follow the wrong fashion rules (i.e. drink and drive the wrong things). And if you attempt to drill further into that logic, he either (a) changes the subject (b) ignores you or (c) makes a joke. He refuses to explore his own logic, so it's no suprise he doesn't understand it. Business as usual. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Got it. You have a problem with capitalists accepting government offered tax deductions. So I take it you opt out of tax deductions on your IRS returns? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

You've extolled the virtues of capitalism in previous posts. I agree with you on this. You realize that bourgeoise [sic] is a derogatory term for a capitalist, right? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Ridiculous flying and footage. Jealous of all involved. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
